NORTHBOUND

Thursday morn at 5:30am, Al, JR and I hit the road to upstate NY. About ten hours later we pulled into Vic & Betty Romaine's driveway. It's magical up here. The air is crisp, the leaves are gorgeous and we run into family EVERYWHERE!
After hauling in our gear, we headed to Grandma Harriet's house and chatted awhile. She just celebrated her 90th birthday and is still going strong! Her house is filled with knick-knacks and African violets. Back to Uncle Vics for dinner and to bed early.
JR was up early for a walk down to the diner on Main Street for coffee and then he walked over th Grandma's to borrow her car for our visit so Al and I could have wheels. While he golfed, we went down to THE GATHERING, Amy and Jo's little cafe. It's so wonderful and the food incredible.
We found a neat little shop owned by a photographer and he printed up special "Moravia" shirts for us....Gracie came from Cortland along with Mike who had driven down from near Buffalo. It was an afternoon of coffee and childhood stories. Al and I ran by the local pharmacy and connected with her cousin Alyssa. We are heading to Syracuse with Alyssa and mom Lori tomorrow to help find a dress for a wedding.
All of my photos so far on on Facebook....Al took some fabulous photos......she will post them when we return home on Sunday.
